Chapter 38: Phone

Recently I have been having more dreams about my lost memory. More things began to flow into the dream that I once called nightmares. I don't know if I've only started recalling some of the things that happened because Mrs Uzora had told me. Or maybe I wasn't even remembering them, maybe it was because she recently told me and I had started projecting what I heard from her into my dreams. I really do not know.

I was currently in class, English class to be exact. I was just as usual boring but I could bare with it I guess. Lunch break was in a few seconds anyways.

Speaking of a few seconds, the bell just went off. As I wanted to carry my bag and leave to my favorite place in the whole school... obviously the library. The Biology teacher walked in.

Mrs Adenike was a short plump woman that had a shape to die for. Her age didn't down her beauty in anyways. She was one of my favorite teachers. Not only because she was insanely nice but also being that Biology was practically my favorite subject.

I know a lot of students didn't like the subject Biology because it was too broad. Infact the one the subject notebook that a student would not ever want to see go missing, would be Biology. That was practically like a death sentence. Chemistry and physics was also among the top list. But I loved Biology because plainly, it really fascinated me.

I saw Mrs Adenike whisper something to our English before turning to the class.

"Ahem" She cleared her throat getting the attention of the whole class. Everyone immediately settled down back on their seats.

"Class, I have a very important announcement to make" Curiosity could cleared be sensed in the air.

"A teacher's phone has gone missing, and we the teachers are currently going to all the classes to check students bag's and locker's" She stated firmly. immediately she had finished speaking, gasps could be heard from every, I mean I couldn't actually blame them. This was the very first time that such a case has been reported in the history of Xenos academy. And the checking of our bags and locker's? well this was certainly going to be interesting.

"But you don't have to worry" She continued "We won't check your bags if you don't want us to, As that would be breaching your privacy" Relieved sighs could be heard escaping the lips of students. "But.." She drawled out with a slight smirk that was so little that you would have had to look closely "If you don't have anything to hide, I'm certain that you would allow us to briefly check your bags" Oh she was good, real good. Reverse psychology right there people.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Few minutes later, students were willingly bringing their school bags forward for them to check. My seat was almost close to the back so it too sometime for them to reach were I was.

When Mrs Adenike finally reached were I was she smiled at me briefly. Yes as you've probably guessed, as she was my favorite teacher I was also her favorite teacher. I always aced her class, so yeah, their was that.

I knew obviously that I wasn't the one that took the phone so I freely pushed my bag forward towards her. Unfortunately, it was at moment that I spotted Adaeze. She was standing by the entrance of our class door, smirking at me? What was she doing here, last time I remember this was definitely not her class.

Then next I noticed her lips moving. She was mouthing something to me.

'I told you you'll regret what you did'.

My eyes automatically widened as I realized what was happening. God no, I hope she didn't do what I think she did.

"Rica" I heard Mrs Adenike call for me, making me to turn back to her direction. Unfortunately my prayers weren't answered. In her hand was none other than a phone. A phone that I know wasn't mine. And a phone that I knew was the one they were looking for.

Wait I just have one desperate question, Is it still illegal to murder another human being?

CREATORS' THOUGHTS
Zanyyy

So I'm dedicating this chapter to my fellow Nigerian's.

We all know what is happing now on social media, the news. The whole world practically knows all about it by now. About SARS, well primarily The police brutality against mostly the youths.

I just wanted to tell the people who are going out for the protests to please and please, stay safe. God is with Nigeria honestly. Really hope we can become a much better country. #ENDSARS #ENDPOLICEBRUTALITY #ENDSWAT❤️
